The Green Dairy Partnership Summit 2026 was held in Dhaka to advance a shared vision for a climate-resilient, low-carbon and commercially viable dairy sector in Bangladesh.
At the summit, partners revealed that women farmers’ independent control over dairy income increased from 23.58 per cent in 2025 to 41.66 per cent in 2026, said a press release on Thursday.
The partnership works with 10,000 dairy farming households across southwest Bangladesh, including 8,549 women farmers. The initiative uses the Arla Big 5 framework to improve farm productivity and climate-smart practices. The framework focuses on feed efficiency, balanced nutrition, herd robustness, manure management and responsible land use.
Supported by the Danida Green Business Partnerships under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, the project brings together Solidaridad Network Asia, Arla Foods Bangladesh, PRAN Dairy, SEGES Innovation and the Danish Agriculture and Food Council.
The Green Dairy Partnership Summit 2026 was held under the theme “Pioneering a Low-Carbon, Climate-Resilient, and Viable Dairy Sector in Bangladesh.” At the event, partners unveiled a commemorative coffee table book titled “Feeding the Future of Bangladesh: Transforming Dairy, Nourishing Generations.”
